My friend (she lost her dad when she was thirteen and now she's  31) told me that the feeling of looking for that person, the loss and subsequent grief, will come and go like the ocean's tide. I lost my mom this July and I didn't understand her until then. It doesn't matter how much time you think you've spent with them, it never feels like enough once they leave. I couldn't fathom a world that she no longer existed in, I still can't honestly. Knowing she's not walking this Earth while I am is so hard. Knowing I won't hear her laugh or hear her singing or just a cough... It hurts.

@kandycemt thank you. Yesterday was actually my mom's birthday. I can't tell you how much comfort your words give me. I'm lucky to have siblings (especially my twin) who also struggled yesterday, but your words do make me feel better. I'm sorry that you too have had to experience grief like this. Thank you again 
          	  
          	  P.S.
          	  You are so eloquent! I'll hold your words close, especially on the days when it's just a little too hard to keep going. And I'm also grateful for your books, I love reading them and they bring me joy.

@SewDa_Pop I lost my mother back in June of 2018 and this feeling stays. You live your life, but your mother will always be there on the fringe, always on your mind. It's still unfathomable to me how my own mother had been so bouncy and happy one day and in a coma within a week. There are always these things that take place in my life and my children's lives and there's this constant tenure in my mind that she should be here, she should have been a part of this. 
          	  Life goes on, the ache becomes manageable, but it never really goes away. And there is part of me that finds comfort in her constant memory, even though it took me a long time to be able to move on from the raw pain of it during the first couple of years. 
          	  I'm so sorry that you are going through this. There are no words that can make things better, all we can do is offer ears and friendly hands. Sometimes, the most helpful thing is knowing you aren't alone. That your pain is understood. 
          	  While your grief is still unique to you since no one had the same relationship with your mother that you had, there are others who also feel the grief of losing those that are at the very core of their existence. 
          	  My most deepest condolences. I hope you find peace and always know that you are never alone.

So, I got in car wreck last night. No one got hurt, but the other car slammed into my passenger side and now my doors over there won't really open, and my car is still drivable. I'm so bummed out right now. Like I keep dreaming of it happening and can't really sleep. I'm also really afraid to drive again. I have to drive though, there's no way to get it of it. I have a job and I can't not drive. Why do other people suck? Why did this have to happen on a day that was already pretty sucky? I feel cheated somehow.

OKAY. So I thought I'd made it through the thick of it! I didn't! The breathing problem is BACK!
          I can't even sleep because of this constant struggle to breathe and having to cough. EATING felt like I was suffocating

SewDa_Pop

I don't know what changed overnight, but I'm much better now. Yesterday happened and I never want to feel like that again. I didn't go to the ER by miracle alone and now I'm realizing I've done nothing I wanted to in life. I can breathe fully now. I'm so relieved

SewDa_Pop

So either I have a very long cold, or it's omicron, right? All I know is suddenly out of no where I'm now having trouble breathing? Like it's been 2 hours and it's not getting better but I need to sleep because I have to work early morning. And I'm a teeny bit afraid this breathing is going to get much worse

So I might've caught covid. I want to get tested, but I don't think I can even drive much less put someone else in danger of getting it from me to drive me to a testing center. I really hope I make it through okay.
